BREAKING: New Moon Not Sighted In Saudi Arabia For Eid-El-Fitr Tomorrow

Saudi Arabia has declared that it had not sighted the new Shawwal moon today to herald the end of Ramadan Fasting and observance of Eid-El-Fitr tomorrow, April 9.
The authorities have therefore declared Wednesday, April 10, for the celebration and end of this year’s Fasting.
The Kingdom announced that the holy month of Ramadan would, therefore, last 30 days this year.
Earlier, the Supreme Court of Saudi Arabia had called on all Muslims across the Kingdom to sight the Shawwal crescent on the evening of Monday, Ramadan 29.
The sighting of the Shawwal moon marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan and the beginning of Eid Al Fitr.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has asked Muslims in the country to be on the lookout for the new moon of Shawwal, immediately after sunset today, April 8 and 29th Ramadan 1445 A.H.
A statement signed by the Secretary-General of the council, Is-haq Oloyede said that the council, under the leadership of the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, had enjoined all Muslims to look out for the moon.
Oloyede said that if Muslims sight the crescent in accordance with the moon sighting and verification standards, His Eminence would declare tomorrow, April 9, as the 1st of Shawwal and the day of ‘Eid-el-Fitr.
If the crescent is not sighted today, Wednesday, April 10, will automatically be the day of Eid-el-Fitr.
